I'm vibe-coding an Android client. It's also better than anything else. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm amazed at it. Easy to jump over predecessors, when development and maintenance costs are so cheap and you can read everyone else's code. You can see what everyone did wrong and start out doing it differently, whereas they have a loyal user base to cater to, that will demand small, incremental changes.

For clarification: it's better than anything else _to me_. I don't need any other users to justify the cost of development because the resources invested in it are so incredibly low.

Curiosity from a non dev. Can you create a prompt with a list of open source projects and define the particular characteristics you like from each one and feature changes you would want, and get an agent to simply parse through the gits of all those defined projects and start developing the backbone with selected code snippets? Will it do that automatically?
I just did that. Took me about two days of testing and improving, but it's basically done, now. I don't know, if I will release it, tho. There are some decent Android apps out there and I don't want to thin their market. It's just for my personal use.

Yeah, was more wondering if frontending that process would be cool or saturate. Anyone could go to a site, select their favourite apps and list reasons why and it drops that into a prompt on a backend, creates the app, registers a git and allows them to either work on the idea themselves or share to their network to see if people find the concept interesting to build on. A kind of shortcut to showcase non dev creative thinking. Meh, probably been done

Exactly but with a nice easy frontend for non tech people who find this a little daunting. Guide through with questions. no idea. Maybe I'll stick to geology ๐Ÿ™„
